This list provides a comprehensive overview of Brian Eno's work, including
solo records, collaborations and productions. The list is in chronological
order where up to 1995 the year refers, in general, to the recording date;
in subsequent years it's the date of release. All items are in album format
unless stated otherwise. Note that compilations of otherwise available
material and repackages have been not included in this list. Information
on those, together with all session details about the records listed below
(tracks, musicians involved, etc.) can be found in the encyclopaedic
discography on Alex Rubli's Nerve
Net archive site. Anything after 1995 should not be viewed as exhaustive, as
there simply aren't enough hours in the day for EnoWeb to buy everything
with Brian Eno's input, even if we had the inclination.

Note that in case of CD singles very often several versions exist and
only one of them may feature the track(s) with Eno. Thus some care should be
employed when buying/ordering them.

It goes without saying that we do not believe Brian Eno's input alone would
make a disc worth buying! Some are indeed well worth avoiding. The EnoWeb
Cabal tried to introduce a highly subjective grading system based
on our honest opinion of what's hot and what's shot, but it wasn't a great success and was quietly sidelined. For the sections where those grades appear, this is what they mean.

Essential -- every Eno collection should include
this

Nice to have -- good performances and/or worthwhile
remixes

Collectors only -- most of us can quite happily continue
to live without owning this

What are you thinking of? -- best avoided by all but the
most rabid completists

Titles without an icon generally fall
between the N and C categories; we don't have any strong
feelings about them.

Unreleased album by The Winkies (According to Borderline Books/Vernon Joynson's The
Tapestry Of Delights, in July 1974, the Winkies recorded an
album which included Brian on one track. This album and a second
attempt remain unreleased. They finally managed to release an album
in 1975 - no Brian involvement though).

Brian Eno with Daniel
Lanois and Roger Eno: Apollo - Atmospheres & Soundtracks Notes: In 2008 Daniel Lanois
told Gearslutz:
"The main synth was a Yamaha CS-80. This is a polyphonic synth, one
of Yamaha's first. On Deep Blue Day there are two guitars, a
strumming Strat plays the rhythm and the steel guitar is my Sho-Bud
single neck Professional. They were both recorded DI. Eno put a
massive treatment on everything. The complexities of the chain are
unspeakable! But those treatments were worked on for weeks on
end." In 2016 he told The Atlantic: "that track, 'Deep Blue Day,' which showed up in the Trainspotting movie, that was done on a little Suzuki Omnichord, a little toy instrument. It’s essentially an electronic autoharp. That’s what we used on the track, but we slowed it down a lot. The early Suzuki Omnichords had great basslines. And by slowing it down, it developed this beautiful, luxurious jukebox sound."

Generative Music 1

SSEYO

Notes:Generative Music 1: 12 Self-Generating
Compositions By Brian Eno: A 3.5" floppy disk with 12 Koan pieces
written for the SoundBlaster AWE card. No CD versions of these tracks
were released. Box has Anton Corbijn's photograph of Eno, also
featured on the UK & US editions of Eno's diary. Disk carrier
has Eno art. The music was composed using Koan generative music software from a company called SSEYO; its site also had 3 Koan pieces
by Brian which didn't appear on the album in the same form. Unfortunately the music was very dependent on owning the correct PC soundcard and Windows version. It was supported up to Windows ME, but as time went on Creative Labs developed other sound cards which were not compatible with software written for the AWE, and did not continue to release AWE drivers for new versions of Windows; Koan ceased to be developed and SSEYO was taken over by another company in one of those Internet boombastic bubbles. The founders created a follow-up company to create new generative applications, Intermorphic.

Notes: Brian Eno sings backing vocals with Peter
Gabriel on the second track, "Mercedes". Overall the album strikes me
as rather over-produced. Joseph Arthur is an electrifying singer live,
emanating raw energy and emotion. Some of that comes across on the
album, but the production has a tendency to stifle it.

moment when Buddhist ceremony bells break into the Lizard Point
landscape...

Notes: Neverwhere was a 6-part fantasy BBC television
series by Neil Gaiman; Brian wrote the music. The audio books contain
a few short snatches of the music, whilst the video has all the
music (with dialogue/sound effects, obviously). Later released on DVD.

Brian Eno

Notes: A one-off single created for War Child's Musical
Milestones auction. Brian's version of The Velvet Underground's song
mixed Here Come The Warm Jets-style overtones with more modern
sounds and included a sequence where Brian explained how he had first
heard the track living in a log cabin outside Winchester. There was
only one copy of the single and it sold for £40,000. At one time it
seemed possible that the purchaser might release the single but it
hasn't happened yet.

Glitters is Gold

All Saints Records ASCD31

Notes: Includes 2 tracks by Brian, both longer versions
of pieces which appeared later in the year on The Drop (Swanky
& Blissed). Swanky is better in the longer form. Blissed has a
couple of sound glitches on it.

Brian Eno

The Drop

All Saints (UK) ASCD32; Thirsty Ear
(US)

Notes:The Drop showcases a new kind of
music which Brian created. The album title went through a number of
changes, including Swanky, Today On Earth [which he
would pretty much return to 8 years later], Hup! and
This is Hup! Reviews were less variable, being mainly
hostile to the album -- partly, I suspect, because the album
didn't deliver what's normally expected from Brian. Drop music was
originally called "Unwelcome Jazz" because "most of the people I
played them [the pieces] to don't really like them," according to
Brian. He said: "they all share this quality of having melodies that
go in very odd directions and take sharp turns and so on. They have
another characteristic: they use a combination of instruments that
are so recognizable, that come with a huge amount of cultural
history, you know, like jazz piano sounds, the ride cymbal, all
that sort of things. As soon as you hear those instruments you
have some kind of picture of how the music was made. Within that,
I place those things in an electronic landscape, which is
completely another world, a world that never belonged to that
music." Another proposed title was Neo Geo, and there are
instrumental/approach similarities to Ryuichi Sakamoto's album of
that name.

Brian Eno

The Drop (Japanese
version)

Paradise Island FLCP-1005 (part of
For Life Records)

Notes: The Japanese version of The Drop includes a
bonus second disc with 3 tracks: "Swat & Rut", "Slicing System"
and "Sharply Cornered". There is also a more substantial booklet which
appears to list Brian's work up to that point, including the White Cube
& Contra 1.2 CDs (see below).

Notes:Music For White Cube was a sound
installation created by Brian Eno for the White Cube gallery in London,
which consisted of 4 CD players playing tracks of Brian singing one
note with a background of traffic and other street sounds, which had
then been slowed down and enhanced using audio software. As its title
suggests, the catalogue CD includes extracts from the installation. The
overall result is similar to the work of Thomas Köner. The CD was
originally priced at £20, but as the numbers available dwindled, the
gallery hiked the price, as is apparently traditional for
limited-edition artworks. The run of the CDs was about 500, we
think.

Notes: Solely available at the gallery during the run of
Music For White Cube, Contra 1.2 was a series of unique CD-Rs,
each containing a different take of Contra, one of Brian's Koan pieces
(previously unreleased). The CD-Rs varied in length from around 20 to
49 minutes. The inlay cards were also unique, each different design
generated by Brian's software (possibly a Bliss/After Dark
combination). Around 80 CD-Rs are believed to have been made and they
have appeared at eBay from time to time. A short extract from Contra
was broadcast on the Radio 3 programme Mixing It, and it also
turns up in the background of the Nile CD game (see
1998).

Film Soundtrack

The End of Violence

Outpost Recordings;
OPRD-30008

Notes: There are 2 soundtrack albums to accompany Wim
Wenders' film The End Of Violence. One has music by Ry Cooder;
this one has music by a variety of artists. Brian's contribution is a
production of the (previously unfinished) Roy Orbison song "You May
Feel Me Crying". As with much of Brian's production work at this time,
the track includes him singing along.

their first collaboration in 1976. Brian even sings on one track -- but
the lyrics are only "Don't get lost on Luneburg Heath" over and

Notes: This is a special definition of "tribute"
meaning "cover" -- the album has lots of covers of pieces by Brian by
bands with whom EnoWeb was not previously familiar. Or afterwards, for
that matter.

Notes: Brian arranged the track "Heaps of Sheeps", on
which he also sings and plays synth. He plays synth on two other tracks
as well. A great album, named the best rock album of 1997 by The
Independent.

Terra Nova: Nature and Culture --
Music From Nature

MIT Press; Volume 2, Number 3,
Summer 1997

Notes: Terra Nova is a quarterly journal; this special
issue includes a 74-minute CD of music from nature, imitating nature or
creating soundscapes. Brian's 6-minute contribution is
"Ikebukoro/Madrid/4", an excellent remix of "Ikebukoro" from The Shutov
Assembly. You can read more about it here.

Notes: The Lightness CD accompanied Brian's
installation in St Petersburg in 1997. The CDs left over were then sold
by Opal in 1998, not through normal record distribution channels.
Two excellent ambient pieces that positively glow. Limited edition
of around 500.

If God Will Send His Angels

Island / Polygram;
CID684/572189-2

Notes: The single includes a track remixed by
Brian, 'Slow Dancing', on which Brian provides backing vocals for Willie
Nelson. The CD also features 'Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad',
which formed part of Bono's exhibit for the Musical Milestones auction for War Child.

Notes: The Bang
On A Can Allstars transcribed Music For Airports and arranged
it for their orchestral ensemble. No involvement from Brian,
although he thought highly of the idea and their execution of
it.

Notes:We Love You is a book + CD that
brought together loads of Young British Artists with musicians, for a
series of artistic and musical collaborations. Brian provides "Sensual
Zero Gravity" with added words and noises by Marc Quinn. The track
is an extended version of "Coasters" from The Drop. Quinn's
input is the kind of uneasy-listening monologue done rather better
by Chris Morris' radio programme Blue Jam, the book is
uninspiring and the track says nothing new about Drop Music in
this form that The Drop hasn't already
covered.

Nile: An Ancient Egyptian Quest

Simon & Schuster Interactive

Notes:Nile is a computer game for Windows;
Brian composed the music for it in 1996. It's a mixture of unreleased
tracks plus music which previously appeared on the soundtrack of
Neverwhere and music from Generative Music 1. Much
of the music accompanies re-tellings of Egyptian myths and stories
narrated by Kelly McGillis. This is an enjoyable edutainment disc,
but I did wonder at Brian's involvement given his public
statements about how useless CD-ROM games are. Simon &
Schuster Interactive used to have a page on it here with a link to a sample. In the UK the
game is distributed by Zablac Entertainment.

Music for Onmyoji

Victor Entertainment VICP-60980~1
2CD

Notes: 2-CD, limited edition of 5,000 in silver &
hologram packaging. The first CD consists of Japanese music played on
traditional instruments. The second CD is by Brian Eno & J. Peter
Schwalm (of Slop Shop) and consists of 6 tracks running at just over 28
minutes – the most haunted-sounding music since On Land.
In a blog post, Schwalm wrote: 'found this video on you tube. it features the track: "connecting heaven to earth" by brian eno and me which was released in 2000 on jvc. the record is called "music for onmyio-ji" and this is one of my favourite tracks on this cd. we did this record without a computer being involved once.
i remember the feeling of freedom when we did this record. no screen that kept you distracted from listening, instead: two tascam da88 digital tape recorders for immediate recordings and a bunch of synthesizers and outboard effects. by the end of the week we actually could not believe that there was no computer involved. we did the mixdown on a cd-recorder. this week taught me at least two things:1. while you listening to a piece of music; don´t look at the computerscreen; it distracts you and keeps away the surprising moment2. try to use your computer more like a tape recorder; it keeps you focused on the actual performance that you are about to record.

Notes: Also titled A section from Music for Civic
Recovery Centre "The Quiet Club". Running time 44:49. Originally
not available direct from Opal, being produced as a souvenir of Brian's
installation at the Sonic Boom show (April-June 02000). Flavour is
predominantly Kite Stories-type vocals and Ikebukoro. See EnoWeb's dedicated installations page for more

Moon Town

Notes: As its Russian name suggests, this is a re-release
of the Smart album, albeit in a revised version, on a different

Lightness with New Composers' bleeps & sounds). The 9
remaining tracks are drawn from the 12 featured on Smart,
re-ordered and renamed, most in Russian.

Notes: A re-release of Brian's St Petersburg installation
music, originally put out in 1997. As with all Opal-direct
installation albums, this is on CD-R format media, unlike the original
which was a standard pressed CD.

Island CID 766/562 945-2

Notes: As well as the title track, CD 1 includes two
other songs produced by Brian and Dan Lanois, "Summer Rain" and
"Always". There is also a CD2 which has two live tracks with no
involvement from Brian (CIDX 766).

Notes: A compilation of material from Chris Morris' BBC
Radio 1 series Blue Jam. Very uneasy listening, dark,
disturbing, often sickening, sometimes dreadfully funny. Showcases
Morris' usual obsessions with death, twisted sexuality, violence,
untrustworthy doctors, rude words and the dislocated logic of the small
hours of the morning, backed by ambient music by various artists
including "Deep Blue Day" from Apollo.

Notes: CD free with issue 172 of Q magazine; includes
U2's "Beautiful Day (Quincy and Sonance Radio Edit)", an exclusive

from Ireland, produced by Brian and Daniel Lanois.

also a CD2 which has two live tracks with no involvement from
Brian (CID 770).

Brian Eno

Music For Prague

--

Notes: Not to be
confused with the inevitable 2-CD bootleg audience
recording, or one of the other CDs of musical components for Music for Prague also escaped into the wild, featuring effected piano and synth. This was a one-off CD of sound sketches
made by Brian when he was working on his 1998 installation with
Jiri Prihoda in Prague. The CD was donated to an auction in aid of
South London Arts in January 02001 and raised £400. The CD was again put up for auction on eBay in September 2017 (asking price $15,000 in aid of Harmony of Life Fellowship, Inc.) with the following description: 'Item is new, listened to once, and put away for decades. This was the auction CD mentioned on enoweb that sold in South African Auction and I am second owner purchase from Gent in England. Has original mailing envelope and all items including baggage claim printed and tour booklet for Prague. The ultimate rarest Brian Eno "piece of History!" Hand written by Mr. Eno on Labeled CDr: Low G# Motorboat / '12' Loud / 20 IDS Different Volumes. This One-Off came with 14 page Installation Program and a small baggage label hand written by Mr. Eno with "Not a Work Of Art, But A Piece of History" and autographed. Low G♯ Motorboat was one of the original discs used in the Music for Prague Installation, that was setup in various CD players on shuffle mode throughout the entire installation, giving the installation "music in motion" whereas you would not hear the exact same audio output at any given time! This original one-off CDr was hand made and produced by Brian Eno. Motorboats is the most unique because it contained sounds recorded from DAT on location from Prague under the Charles Bridge where the motorboats take tourists on the river journey. It is quite different from other Eno CDs in that it is just sound effects extracted from the Motorboats in Prague. When placed in the shuffle mode in the installation, this score brought unpredicted crescendos in motion and certain subsonic responses.'

Notes: The culmination of ideas Brian
had been working towards for many years, without the malice of
Nerve Net or the refrigeration units of The Drop.
Press reviews gave it an average of 3 stars out of 5 and words
like "warm" and "organic" abounded.

For a time, Virgin had a dedicated site for the album,
with streaming tracks, videos from the launch party and Dark
Jam (see below).

Interviewed by John Diliberto for Pulse!
Magazine, Brian explained about the voices of his daughters
Irial and Darla on "Bloom": ' "Interestingly, fake!" says Eno
with a laugh. "Because they both appear in that piece as the
same age, about a year and a half old. They are in fact a year
and a half different in age, so it's sort of collaged together
from two different recordings." Eno's daughters reveal an
underpinning of nostalgia to this otherwise off-center slice of
junk electro-abstraction as they recite the nursery rhyme "Pease
Porridge Hot". "I love the way she says 'nine days aawold,'"
says Eno with a touch of wistfulness. "Old! That's such a
difficult word for a child." '

Dark Jam

Notes:Dark Jam was a 14-minute infrared
film QuickTime video (by Brian's then studio manager Marlon
Weyeneth) of Brian and Peter playing a jam in Brian's studio with
only the instrumentation lights for illumination. It appeared on
Virgin's Drawn From Life web-site (no longer
functioning).

Notes: An EP CD with profits going to a campaign
to get rid of landmines, the indiscriminate weaponry sadly popular
with dictators and rebels alike. Mainly Ryuichi Sakamoto although
there are contributions from Brian, Kraftwerk and other artists.
Brian's bits appear on track 1 -- Bridge 3 (after Section Tibet)
and the following Section Bosnia, just before Princess Di.

Notes: Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman travelled
the world for 6 months visiting musicians, artists, gravediggers
etc. This DVD single has a video which mixes music with short
soundbites from gurus, Dennis Hopper, etc including a few seconds
of Brian talking about the future.

Brian Eno

Wander

Note: A Koan piece that was the first example of
SSEYO's Freesense -- a generative audio track that would play when
people opened an e-mail or web page containing it, regardless of their
audio hardware, so long as they had the Koan plugin (unlike 1996's
Generative Music 1 release which relied on the
SoundBlaster AWE soundcard). As SSEYO and Koan are no more, and
Freesense Sonified E-mail never caught on, this track has wandered
off.

Notes: Features a track called "Hear Me Out" which
is credited to Imogen Heap, Guy Sigsworth, Lee Bennett and Brian Eno
but Brian's contribution is only a sample from Apollo's "An
Ending (Ascent)". However 2 other tracks have real contributions
from Jon Hassell.

Opal -- OPALCD02. Available
exclusively through Enoshop
(orders for Europe) and Long
Now (orders for rest of world)

Notes: All profits to The Long Now Foundation.
Brian is in Quasi mode and this is his most experimental work since
Nerve Net. The first track is over-long but the rest
certainly rings true! He must have been going like the clappers to
get this album out!! Give a man enough rope!!!

Notes: An extract was played on Brian Eno: A
Quantity Of Stuff on BBC Radio 2, 1st February 2003 "...as the
snow across the tundra and the rain across the skies..." he sings.
Played in its entirety on Echoes (syndicated on US NRI
stations) in November & December 2003. Released on CD in 2005 on
Another Day On Earth, although that is a slightly shorter
version.

Fear X [film]

Doing the rounds of the
film festivals

Notes: Music by Brian & J. Peter Schwalm. Not
currently available on CD.

Notes: 15 previously unreleased tracks
from the Eno studio, curated by Brian's technical assistant Marlon
Weyeneth. Somewhat of a Drop Vol 2 -- all the tracks
appear to be from the last decade. "Castro Haze" and "Manila
Envelope" appear in mildly different mixes from their
Headcandy incarnations and "Late Evening in Jersey"
(which appeared on the soundtrack of Heat) is a longer version
of The Drop's "Hazard".

Here's what Opal's Press Release
said:

CURIOSITIES VOLUME 1 by BRIAN ENO
RELEASE DATE: Friday 5th September

This
latest release from the Enoshop is the first in a series of
collections of little known Eno work from recent years which has
been collected together and compiled by his diligent and long
suffering studio assistant, Marlon Weyeneth.

BRIAN ENO COMMENTS ON CURIOSITIES:

The
pieces on this record are singularities, things that didn't fit
together with enough other things to ever make a whole
album.

Thus 'Circus Mathematics' was imagined as part of a
group of pieces called 'Mathematical Piano Music', but only three
others ever materialized, and 'Ambient Savage' is the only
surviving example of the little-known but much-mourned
'Afro-Ambient' genre.

'Castro Haze' was the first, and, as
it transpired, the last representative of the cycle which was to
have been known as 'Unsuccessful Boxers' - the Castro in question
was a welterweight who ultimately failed in his bid to seize
fame. The 'Thrash Funk' category of which 'War Fetish' is a
proud member, has been more prolific but still not quite abundant
enough to justify a whole CD. 'Work/Wank' belongs to a long
tradition of songs with very few lyrics (such as 'Hot Pastrami',
'Mashed Potatoes' and 'Wipeout'), and, together with 'Draw One
Animal' formed the beginning of my projected CD: 11 things to
do on a dull afternoon. Unfortunately this project failed
because I could only think of three.

Brian Eno
is currently at work in his studio on his forthcoming song album,
tentatively called Brian Eno: The Love Collection.

Curiosities Volume 1 will be exclusively
available from the Enoshop website http://www.enoshop.co.uk/. The Enoshop website
has been set up to provide an outlet for the side projects which
keep distracting Brian from work on his song album.

Neil Gaiman's
Neverwhere

A&E

Notes: US DVD release of the 1996 6-part BBC series
with music by Brian. Includes a commentary by the multi-talented
Neil Gaiman. Supposedly Region 1 (US & Canada) but some people
report it appears to be Region 0 (all regions).

Notes: A data & music CD sent out to wine
dealers to promote Pelissero's Long Now wine. Includes 5 Bell
Studies tracks by Brian: some variants of existing tracks and others
previously unreleased. 1. Study 16 (x5, x3 series ratios); 2. Study
17 (Phytagorean ratios); 3. If a bell became a drone...; 4. Campion
Bells (invert harmonics); 5. Bell Study with distant delays.

John Cale

Hobo Sapiens

Notes: Hi; as a long time fan of the
site, I thought you'd like to know that Eno & his daughters
appear on John Cale's (excellent) new album, Hobosapiens.
The liner notes read: "[Thanks] to Brian Eno for the groove and his
daughters Irial and Darla for the giggles on 'Bicycle'." The musician
credits clarify said groove as the drum track, though the bass sounds
pretty Eno-esque as well. -- Jason Minnix

Enoweb
Notes: Richard Joly writes that the May 4, 2003 issue of the JockeySlut has a cover story on UNKLE. In
it we learn that "Eno and Jarvis Cocker meanwhile have a synthesizer
stand-off on 'I Need Something Stronger'." This will be on UNKLE's
next album, "Never, Never, Land", to be released at end of June by
Mo Wax/Island. Curiously, the article carries a photo of a tracklist
and on the photo, the Eno/Jarvis track is called "Oil +
Steel".

Notes: James Lavelle
teamed up with Richard File, a singer / songwriter, to produce this
2nd album by UNKLE. Brian Eno played the synth on "I Need Something
Stronger". He was also responsible for Kaos, effects, and programming on
this track. The music of "I Need Something Stronger" was improvised by
James Lavelle and Richard File with Antony Genn, Brian Eno and
Jarvis Cocker of the Pulp. It featured a sample of "Wavesheets"
which was performed and written by John Fiddy and Sammy
Burdson.

Release Notes: The Island
Records version of "Never, Never, Land" has a bonus track called
"Awake The Unkind". Subsequent versions have different bonus
tracks.

Notes: Damien Dempsey released this breakthrough
album under the direction of veteran producer John Reynolds. Brian
Eno played atmospheric guitars ... but it's not clear on which tracks.
On the "Collaborations" compilation by Sinéad O'Connor, he was credited
with atmospheric guitar on "It's All Good". Sandy Nelson wrote an album
review for the Robotfist website and she reported that
Brian also played atmospheric guitars on "Ghosts Of Overdoses".
Miles Hunt penned an online article
for the LeftLion website and he shared the rare privilege of hearing
an unmixed version of "Celtic Tiger" with contributions by Brian and
Sinéad.

Release Notes: The Clear
Records version of "Seize The Day" has a hidden track. It's the
title song from the 3:42 mark of track number 10. The UK and US
versions have "Seize The Day" as an indexed track.

Sinéad O'Connor

She Who Dwells In
The Secret Place Of The Most High Shall Abide Under The Shadow Of
The Almighty

Notes: Sinéad O'Connor supposedly released "She Who
Dwells ... Under The Shadow Of The Almighty" as her swan song album.
It included rare tracks on disc 1 and a live performance on disc 2.
Brian Eno co-composed 1 demo with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and
co-produced 4 tracks on disc 1. All 4 tracks with Brian date back to
the "Faith And Courage" sessions.

Song Notes: "Do Right Woman" was a hit taken from
Aretha Franklin's classic album "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Loved
You". "Love Hurts" was originally written for the Everly Brothers ...
before being covered by countless artists from Roy Orbison to
Nazareth! "Emma's Song" is the Adrian Sherwood remix which was
included as a bonus track on the Japanese and Australian versions of
the "Faith And Courage" album by Sinéad O'Connor.

Notes: 6 years after "Shleep", Robert Wyatt invited
once again both Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera to guest on his latest
masterpiece. Brian sung beautifully on the ballad "Forest" and he
literally played the 'last note' on "Tom Hay's Fox". By the way,
Robert joyfully tinkered with Eno's toys on "Trickle Down"!

Notes: The "Once In A Lifetime" box set is a
comprehensive retrospective of the Talking Heads. The 3 audio CDs
include remastered tracks from their debut album to "Naked" plus 5
previously unreleased tracks. The DVD is an expanded version of
their "Storytelling Giant" video with 3 bonus clips. On Disc 2,
there are 2 alternate versions taken from the "Fear Of Music"
sessions which were produced by Brian Eno. "Cities" has additional
lyrics and "Drugs" is a different mix with Robert Fripp on
guitar.

Song Notes: "Drugs" was
originally credited to David Byrne on the album "Fear Of Music". The
alternate version of "Drugs" is credited to both David Byrne and
Brian Eno on the box set "Once In A Lifetime".

Release Notes: The entire Talking Heads back
catalog will be reissued on DualDiscs in January 2006. The "Fear Of Music"
DualDisc will include 4 bonus tracks: an unfinished outtake "Dancing
For Money" plus alternate versions of "Life During Wartime",
"Cities", and "Mind". The alternate version of "Drugs" will NOT be
included.

RJD2

The Horror

Notes: The track "June (Remix)" has a sample of 2/1
from Music For Airports.

Note: The first set of
"Original Masters" CDs, given the collective title "Early Works".
Virgin's site The Raft reported at the time that the music "will
not be 'remastered' but instead will be re-transferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue
masters". There's a mention of the mastering equipment here. Simon did an excellent job with the
sound quality, but there were problems with the CD
mastering.

The press release said:

He
co-wrote with David Bowie on Low, Heroes and Lodger, was a
founder member of Roxy Music, as well as the producer of U2's
The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, All That You Can't Leave
Behind, Talking Head's Fear of Music and Remain in Light,
Devo's Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! and many more.

But
that's just part of the story.

Now
Brian Eno's groundbreaking albums have been digitally
remastered and reissued in special edition digipak packages as part
of a series called "Original Masters." Very often when albums
are remastered, the tapes are re-equalized, remixed, in
other words altered from the way they were originally
delivered by the artist. Not so with the albums in the
"Original Masters" series.

Using
an ATR analog mastering deck with Aria Reference Series
class A discrete electronics, Simon Heyworth was able to coax
a higher level of fidelity out of these recordings than ever before
heard, while keeping the original mastering
intact.

"What
I quickly learnt was that many of the EQ'd Production
Masters at the time were absolutely 'spot on'," says
Heyworth, "and why shouldn't they be when you think about
it, this was the end of a long artistic endeavour and are
we saying that they didn't get it right at that point?
This is nonsense of course because if it was a landmark
recording and sold lots of albums it must have been right! The Artist
and Producer all decided at the time that this was 'it'.
Should we be tampering with that piece of art - after all
we don't go around saying let's Re-master a great
painting."

The
result is a clarity and depth of sound to these albums not
heard since their initial playback in the recording studio.
And more important, no attempts have been made to re-equalize, remix
or in any way tamper with the original EQ'ed analogue
production masters. These "Original Masters" sound just as
Brian Eno originally intended them to be
heard.

CD mastering flaw: On the
first pressing of Another Green World, the problem was
described by EnoWeb visitor Feline1 thus: 'If you haven't heard one of
these discs yourself, lemme try and explain what happens - it's quite
odd - "Everything Merges With The Night" fades in for some several
seconds, it's not like it just abruptly begins with a chunk missing
from the start... but the first vocal line is "I've been waiting
all evening" - it's like they've seamlessly removed the correct
first line "Rosalie" and digitally spliced the join back
together." Virgin issued an official statement: "Subsequent to
approval of a correct version of Another Green World on
reference CD, there was a DDP image file corruption which has
affected the track 'Everything Merges With The Night'. Please take
your CD back to where you bought it, and the retailer will exchange
it for you. Although working as fast as possible to remanufacture, the
new discs won't be ready until the end of next week." Incorrect
pressings were supposed to have been withdrawn from sale by Virgin
EMI but we received several reports of instances where this had
not occurred. Astralwerks offered a higher level of support to its
customers.

Quibbles about packaging:
The CDs are packaged in digipacks inside a protective plastic sleeve.
There is very little tolerance in the sleeve which means re-inserting
the digipack into the sleeve is often difficult. The
designer positioned the text on the spines in a non-standard orientation
(most go from top to bottom with the baseline on the left. These go
from bottom to top with baseline on the right). The
four Peter Schmidt print watercolour images, an important part of
Before And After Science, were excluded from the packaging and
the album's original subtitle Fourteen Pictures was cut down
to Ten Pictures.

Note: All Saints gets in on the
re-release action, with reissues of these albums. The UK Nerve
Net included Jerome Lefdup's video for "Ali Click" and the
lyrics for the first time; Shutov had additional graphics in the
booklet. These CDs were not around for long, as the following year All
Saints re-released the albums again in a tie-up with Rykodisc,
sometimes with other bonus tracks that varied according to
territory.

Brian Eno

Discreet Music,
Music for Airports, The Plateaux of Mirror and
On Land

Note: More previously unreleased fun. The
inside cover includes a list of future Curiosities music tracks, but
the series ground to a halt after compiler Marlon Weyeneth left
Opal.

Hammerheads

BBC

Note: Soundtrack for a
television documentary in the BBC's The Natural World strand on
Hammerhead sharks. Not released although some was re-used on the track
"Passing Over" on Another Day On Earth, and the UK &
US re-releases of Music For Films III each have a different
"Shark" bonus track.

Note: Limited Edition Re-issue with bonus
second CD of tracks from singles. Very tricky to listen to in one
go... once you've heard "The Heart's Filthy Lesson" and "Hallo
Spaceboy" a couple of times you really don't want to hear yet
another remix. Does include "Nothing To Be Desired" which is pretty
much in keeping with the rest of the album.

David Bowie

Earthling

Note: Limited Edition Re-issue with bonus
second CD of tracks from singles including 3 remixes of the
Bowie-Eno track "I'm Afraid Of Americans".

Note: Drum loops and sessions for use
with audio software (there are different versions for various
platforms, e.g, Apple Garageband, WAV, Kontakt etc), including Eno
processing. Not to be confused with a compilation CD that goes by
the same name.

Notes: The third batch of
re-issued "Original Masters" CDs, given the collective title
"Soundtrack Works". More Music For Films combines most of
the tracks from Music For Films Director's Edition and
the tracks that appeared on Music For Films 2 in the Working
Backwards boxed set.

CD mastering flaws: On
Music For Films, the first note at the start of the track
"Quartz" is missing. This fault has never been rectified. On
the first pressing of More Music For Films, track 18 -- which
should be "Climate Study" -- was in fact "Approaching Taidu";
track 20 is again "Approaching Taidu". Incorrect pressings were
supposed to have been withdrawn from sale by Virgin EMI but we received
several reports of instances where this had not occurred. Astralwerks
offered a higher level of support to its customers. Even in 2009
the version sold on iTunes retains this error.
On the
Director's Edition of Music For Films, "Fuseli"
was an alternate title for the Music For Films track "A
Measured Room"; on More Music For Films, the CD compiler
has used "Patrolling Wire Borders" instead.

Note: Brian contributed "spectacular
arrangements and instrumentation" according to the site. Michael
Staley told us: Brian provides Male Backing Vocals and Vibe Organ on
the song "He Don't Love You" and composed the strings (played by
Nell Catchpole, of course) on the song "'Hooks".

Note: Brian's long-awaited
solo album of songs. Includes some tracks trailed years previously
and "Under" from the cancelled My Squelchy Life and
Vocal Box Set disc 3. The Japanese version (on the Beat Records
label) includes a bonus track, "The Demon Of The Mines". One of
Brian's working titles for this album was The Love
Collection!

Note: The final "Original Master" CD.
This time released just on its own, unlike the other batches of 4.
We could speculate that perhaps there were originally plans to
release other collaborations in a series with this (e.g. Jon
Hassell's Fourth World Vol 1 Possible Musics & Laraaji's
Ambient 3: Day Of Radiance). The ways of the Music Industry are
a mystery to the humble fan.

Note: Karl Hyde from Underworld sat in
for Rob Da Bank on BBC Radio 1 on Thursday 8th September. Included
in his set was an as yet unreleased track by Brian called "These
Small Noises" with vocals by Fovea Hex's Clodagh Simonds and Brian
(ELO-type vocoder & Drawn From Life-type vocal jiggery-pokery)
plus keyboards by Jon Hopkins.

Note: Free CD included with the September
2005 issue of Prospect magazine. Michel Faber reads his
novella over an icy soundscape by Brian. We are told Brian did
another version of the soundscape so there would be a choice. The
reading was later released as a digital download by Enoshop. At one
time you could download a free podcast of a long excerpt from this at the
site of Michel Faber's publisher Canongate, but it appears to have vanished in a
re-design.

Note: US DVD release combining Brian's
ambient videos, Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan
and Thursday Afternoon. The booklet was written by EnoWeb's
Tom Boon and Brian Eno without them ever meeting.

Brian Eno

How Many Worlds

Note: Downloadable single, a 4-minute
edit of the track. Doesn't seem to be available any more. It was
just an edited version, nothing fancy or extra. Also produced as a
promo CD from Hannibal (HNCD1475HMW).

Note:
This film has been responsible for the largest number of queries on a
single topic in EnoWeb's history: people asking where they can obtain
the "love theme" played throughout the film. Alas it has not
been released. There is no soundtrack album available. Most of the music
from the film is not available on CD and so titles are unknown. We
think the music is licensed to Warner Independent and so it would
be up to them if it was to be released. We asked Opal several
times but they said they had no plans to release it. For the record, a little of the music has been released:
the track at the start of the film (Gulf War section) is "Fleeting
Smile" by Roger Eno (Brian's brother), available on the album
Music For Films III (All Saints Records/Hannnibal/Ryko
label). There are also excerpts from "Going Unconscious" from the
album Another Day On Earth and an alternate mix of "The
Demon Of The Mines" (from the Japanese edition of Another Day
On Earth). One of the tracks over the closing credits is by The Jane
Does.

Note: UK DVD release combining Brian's
ambient videos, Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan
and Thursday Afternoon. The booklet was written by EnoWeb's
Tom Boon and Brian Eno without them ever communicating. On the first
pressing there was a mastering error that put the Thursday
Afternoon soundtrack on one of the orientations of Mistaken
Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan.

Note: Features Brian Eno (Keyboards),
Roger Doyle, Laura Sheeran, Carter Burwell, Percy Jones, Lydia
Sasse, Sarah McQuaid and Hugh O'Neill. There was also a limited
edition bonus cd, The Discussion, remixing elements of
HUGE. The third EP in the series, Allure, was released
in 2007 but did not include Brian (it did have Eno collaborators Robert
Fripp & Percy Jones though).

Note: DVD of the Stop The War Coalition
Benefit Concert, filmed at The Astoria, London on 27th November
2005. Features The Rachid Taha Band with Brian Eno, Nitin Sawhney,
Imogen Heap, & Special Guest Mick Jones.

Note: Limited edition (1,000)
audio CD produced to accompany 77 Million - An Audio Visual
Installation By Brian Eno at Laforet Museum in Harajuku. Not
music from the software program but a Curiosities-style
collection of disparate pieces. A fair amount of the material previously
appeared on The Drop, the CMAPT/Smart New
Composers album and the Nile game. Track listing is as
follows:

1. Never Stomp -- previously unreleased (Drop-style)
2. System Piano -- Rayonism from The Drop
(different mix) 3. Bonk 12 -- previously unreleased
(Drop-style) 4. Luxor Night Car -- Plot 180 from
Passengers (different mix) 5. Targa Summer
-- La-la-la from Smart (with a small extract from one of
the Headcandy pieces and a bit of speech at the end)
6. Cold -- Iced World from The Drop 7.
Little Slicer -- Out/Out from The Drop (different mix)
8. Surf Birds -- Background music from Words Spoken by Count Meketre /
Thutmoses' Discovery of the Sphinx from Nile 9.
Targa -- Long SQ/Short SQ from Smart underlying previously
unreleased tracks and a loop from the Creation story from
Nile.

The inclusion of Smart pieces was a little
surprising, as the story at the time of that album's release was
that Brian had not been greatly involved in its creation -- yet
here the tracks are clearly presented as Brian's
work.

Note: A new song premiered at The Slade
Lecture Series at Oxford University's Holywell Music Rooms on 8th
March 2006. Texts by Tom Phillips (Brian's mate & Slade
Professor of Fine Art at Oxford 2005-6), were set to music by
composers including Harrison Birtwistle, Michael Nyman, and for this one,
Brian. Later also performed at the Tom Phillips Cushion Concert at
the Royal Academy on Saturday 8th July 2006. Not
released.

Notes: Brian Eno’s 77
Million Paintings is a generative project - a "visual music"
program using television and computer screens to create constantly
evolving paintings.

Available in limited-edition deluxe numbered packaging,
it features a generative software disc playable on Mac or PC
together with an exclusive interview DVD and a 52-page hardbound
book with an extensive essay by Eno covering his career as a
visual artist, fully illustrated with previously unseen images.
The 77 million paintings are generated from handmade slides,
randomly combined by the computer using specially developed
software. It also processes the music that accompanies the paintings
in a similar way, so the selection of elements and their duration in the
piece are arbitrarily chosen, forming a virtually infinite number
of variations.

"I think of these things as visual music. The screen
is not being used to tell a story - which is what screens normally do
- but to show a painting that changes all the time. One of the
interesting things about this is that the artist doesn’t actually
know what the result is going to be. There will be unique moments
in this for every viewer, and every viewer’s experience will be
somewhat different. This could be used just as you’d use a painting.
People now have larger screens, but these big objects sitting in their
rooms are dormant for a lot of the time. If you’re not actually
watching television, what you have is a big black hole in the wall.
77 Million Paintings is intended to occupy that downtime
so that, instead of having a dead hole in the wall, you have a
living picture." -- Brian Eno

No longer available after it sold out. The software still works fine on Windows PCs with Windows 10 (although it may insist on a resolution of 1024x768), but stopped working on Macintoshes after Mac OS 10.6 because 10.7 Lion removed Carbon support. It is surprising that an updated version has not been created, but there you go. They don't even appear to have bothered to renew 77millionpaintings.com.

Note: The documentary DVD of the making
of the Possibilities album includes brief footage of
Herbie's recording session with Brian (which didn't make it to the
released album, although Herbie & Brian continued to meet up for
recording sessions the following year).

Note: Brian contributes "sonic
enhancements" on the track "If Not For You".

Golden

Note: A new piece premiered at the San
Francisco Tape Music Festival on Saturday 27th January. Not
released.

Robert Calvert

Captain Lockheed and
the Starfighters / Lucky Leif and the Longships

Eclectic Discs

Note: Both albums are fully remastered
with bonus tracks and repackaging. Captain Lockheed bonus
tracks are "The Right Stuff (full version)", "Ejection (single
version)" and "Catch a Falling Starfighter (single version)".
Lucky Leif, produced by Brian when he was working on
Another Green World, has bonus tracks "Howzat!" and
"Cricket Lovely Reggae (Cricket Star)".

Note: Songlines is a World
Music magazine -- each issue, its cover CD includes some tracks
chosen by a guest. For the March-April '07 edition that was
Brian.

N

Neverwhere

Note: UK DVD release of Neil Gaiman's
6-part BBC television series, with music by Brian.

Damon Albarn / Greenpeace

5 Minutes to
Midnight

Note: A live musical performance as part
of the "Trident: we don't buy it" protest about plans to beef up
Britain's independent nuclear weapon system. Greenpeace had planned
to webcast the performance live but had technical difficulties.
Included bells by Brian -- from the web stream it looked as though
he might have been conducting, we weren't sure. Not released.

Note: MP3 posted by Kevin Kelly, created
by Brian as an example of the music that can quickly be created
using Logic (sadly the MP3 is over-recorded & distorted). In
terms of lyrics and idiot glee this is the closest thing we've had
in decades to 70's Eno. Apparently created as
a tribute to s1m0n3 (Simone Davalos), former office manager at the Long
Now Foundation (the singers are Long Now members). The Simone lyrics
refer to her leaving and the fact she's not around to help them any
more, having moved to Robotics. Simone was previously described on
Long Now's site as "head logistician and gal friday for the Robotics
Society of America, Robolympics, and Combots, and judges robot
combat tournaments in her spare time, which is nonexistent. She
enjoys filing and preaches stress relief through power tools."

Note: Part 2 (remix) is subtitled
"Enojam" and has Eno doing the remix.

Scott Walker: 30 Century Man
DVD

Note: Documentary on Scott Walker.
Contributors include Brian, David Bowie, Gavin Friday etc. Bonus
features include a longer interview with Brian.

Fripp & Eno

Beyond Even

DGM / Panegyric

Note: CD release of the digital album
previously titled The Cotswold Gnomes (see 2006 above).
Includes 2 CDs, one with the tracks separate and another with them
seguéing into each other. This was extensively reviewed &
previewed under the title Unreleased Works of Startling Genius,
suggesting a last-minute name change.

Note: Remastered. There were four
versions; the one of most interest for EnoWeb readers is the Box Set
(rather than the Deluxe, CD or Double Vinyl Sets) as it includes
some liner notes from Brian. Box & Deluxe also have bonus audio
CDs featuring B-sides & rarities from the recording sessions.

Note: Digital release of music from
Daniel Lanois' film Here Is What Is. Includes dialogue
between Brian and Dan, plus the track "Blue Bus" which is an
alternative version of "Deep Blue Day" from Apollo.

Note:Kevin Dunnill writes: Just
got hold of the latest Gescom CD and instantly recognised the track
b1 as the Eno/Byrne track "Come with Us" from My Life in the Bush of
Ghosts. Some Googling later it appears that each track on their new
CD is made from samples of other records. Definitely one for the
completists.

Belinda Carlisle

Voila

Note: Brian plays keyboards. Belinda told
globalrhythm.net: "Brian Eno came into the project
because he’s a friend of John Reynolds. He liked the tracks, so he did
his thing, took tracks away with him, and I can’t tell you what that was
for me. Even over the Stones and the Beatles, Roxy Music is my all-time
favorite band, and I’ve been such a Brian Eno fan for years and years. So
to actually have him involved in the project was a dream come
true."

Note: A compilation of early films by
Malcolm Le Grice, including the 1970 Berlin Horse which has
an audio soundtrack by Brian (his earliest known released work).
Originally this DVD was "only available to colleges and libraries
for class room use, and ... not for individual purchase". We commented:
"At £100 + VAT & postage it might be a little out of the range
of the casual purchaser anyway..." In 2009 it was made available to
the general public (see Amazon link or your usual supplier).

Note: A book to commemorate "The Sound
and the City" event held in China in 2005. Includes 2 CDs, one of
which has an excerpt from Brian's Ritan Park Bells
installation (quite harsh and stark, without the mollifying influence
of Lydian Bells' drone), sound art from the other artists involved
including Scanner, and some favourite sounds chosen by citizens of
Beiing, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. There are still some web
pages about it including the public interview with Brian that
appears in the book.

Note: Re-release of the 77 Million
Paintings software, apparently with some extra image components
and extra loops for the sound mix, though they're a bit difficult to
detect. The pack includes the DVD video interview from the first
release, and an updated booklet with pictures from various 77
Million Paintings installations.

Leo Abrahams

The Unrest Cure

Note: Brian sings on "No Frame" and contributes
backing vocals to "2000 Years from Now".

Note: Exclusive Goldtop Edition of Daniel
Lanois' Here Is What Is film and CD, which includes chats
with Brian (filmed in murky grey by Anton Corbijn, rather oddly as
at one stage Brian is enthusing about the colours of material and
the viewer can see nothing of these), plus the track "Blue Bus" (see
02007); Daniel also discusses working on the collaborations with Harold
Budd. Towards the end in a sequence designed to look like a drive-in
cinema screen, there is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Brian
looking at a rack of clothes which suddenly collapses. Package
includes the cd and deluxe dvd with over an hour of extra footage,
including alternate versions of songs from the film, 12 page booklet
with photos and lyrics, 3 photographs from a pool of 12 (1 signed),
Here Is What Is debossed Moleskine Cahier Notebook (thin),
plus a rock and roll button. Limited to 3000 copies. No kitchen sink
though.

Note: Digital-only track with Brian, Robert Wyatt
and Yaron Stavi. Phil Manzanera said on his site: 'A few years ago
when Robert Wyatt was recording "Cuckooland" at my studio Eno popped
round for dinner, a chat, and an overdub or two and after a few
bevies we had a jam. This track, "The Unknown Zone" grew out of that
night's improvisations, as did my track "50 minutes later".

Note: Produced by Brian and Markus Dravs. Nice long
drone at start reminscent of "From This Moment" on Drawn From
Life, and (internal?) piano sound. This was free via digital
download for the first week of release. Also provided as one side of
a vinyl 7" single free with the NME on 7th May 2008,
together with a track unavailable elsewhere, "A Spell A Rebel Yell"
[VIOLET002].

Note: Produced by Brian and Markus Dravs. Jon
Hopkins also co-produced: the harmonies at the start of "Life In
Technicolor" and "The Escapist" are typical of his work. iTunes
orders include the bonus acoustic track "Lost?" and pre-orders also
received "Lovers In Japan (Acoustic Version)". During a live concert
on BBC Radio 1, Chris Martin introduced "Lost!" with the words "This
is for Brian and Markus, who saved our lives".

Note:
Available in three versions: 1) Digital-only MP3/FLAC at
$8.99 2) CD at $11.99 plus $3.00 postage, available in November
2008 with immediate digital download of the music tracks &
booklet 3) Deluxe limited edition CD package at $69.99 plus $10
postage, available in November 2008 with immediate digital download
of the music tracks, booklet and a screensaver. This includes four
exclusive bonus songs (NEVER THOUGHT, WALKING ALONG THE RIVER, THE
EYES, THE PAINTING -- not included in the digital download by the
way), a short film about the album, Holding Pattern screensaver for
PC & Mac, and an Everything That Happens miniature hardbound
book. That was the plan, anyway -- in late November Davd Byrne sent
an e-mail to explain "we had to have the little house on the top of
the container painted better - in China - and you know how it is with
house construction - you can get quality, speed or affordable price
- but not all three. So speed was sacrificed. We PROMISE they will
be in everyone's hands by Christmas, Channukah,
Kwanza."

Note: Computer game with music -- by Brian and
others -- that mixes pre-authored musical components in a generative
fashion to suit the on-screen events. The main theme going into the
game is by Cliff Martinez (of Solaris &
Traffic fame). Also available in a special Galactic Edition
with DVD documentaries, a bigger manual and other stuff.

Note: iTunes version includes the bonus
track "Nobody But Me" co-written with Brian, though his contribution
is rather difficult to discern. Jason told the Birmingham Mail, "Brian Eno's a neighbour of
mine and I was strumming some stuff outside and he said 'why don't
you throw these chords in'. I live in a mews where he has a studio.
I asked him about some of the songs and there are two tracks on the
album that he recommended." Eno told MOJO: "I was sitting here one
day; Jason knocks on the door. I know him, he's a friend of mine and
he says, 'Hi Brian, I'm doing this record of rock'n'roll songs. Can
you think of any songs I could do?' I've got loads of old rock'n'roll
and doo wop songs and went through all my collection and found about
twenty songs that I thought he'd like to consider. I lent him the
records and he ended up recording about three or four. But then I
happened to say to him, 'You know, these kinds of songs are actually
pretty easy to write.' [Picks up an acoustic guitar] All you need is
to tune your guitar to a major chord, and then you go [uses index
finger to make barre chord and starts playing]. He says, 'Oh, that's
really good.' So I played it again and he started singing, and he
said, 'I could make a song out of that.' I put it on a CD for him.
That's the end of the story. [Eno carries on playing] Anyone can play a
guitar like this."

Note: A jam with Brian included in
Underworld's mix of musical marvels and mellifluosities. As all the
tracks are intermingled it is not entirely clear where it starts and
ends, but it's definitely happenin', man, at between 59 & 60 minutes
in. Recording date not known.

Note: A limited edition remix exclusively
available for the Christmas 2008 season.

Woojun Lee). Not released but extracts from the second night's
performance were broadcast on Totallyradio.com: if you visit its Show Archive you can hear the "22-aug-09
experimental guests and exclusives" programme...

Note:
Peter Jackson film with original music by Brian (with Leo
Abrahams and Jon Hopkins). Also includes previously released tracks
from the 1970s. Released on DVD and Blu-ray. No official soundtrack
album exists. Some tracks were included on Small Craft On A Milk
Sea.

BBC

Arena

--

Note: BBC documentary on Brian which included some
unreleased music. Not released.

Note: A collection of covers. Peter's intention was
for the artists covered to cover one of his songs in return, on a
partner album I'll Scratch Yours. Peter sings "Heroes" but
David Bowie did not want to participate in this project, so as
co-creator of "Heroes" Brian said he would do it. Brian's choice was
first said to be "In Your Eyes" though this later changed to "Don't
Break This Rhythm"; either way it has not yet been
released.

Note: Album created to be sold
exclusively at Lumen London installations (e.g. 77 Million
Paintings). Some tracks come from Spore, others are
previously unreleased.

Brian Eno

This Is Pure Scenius, and This Is Tales from The
Afterlives all included live music from Brian. The This Is
For All Mankind concerts concluded with a performance of four songs
sung by Brian, arranged by Woojun Lee and played by Icebreaker:

"And Then So Clear".

Brian Eno

Speaker Flowers

--

Note: Sound installation at the Brighton Festival,
in Marlborough House, Old Steine. Not released.

Rick Holland & Brian Eno

Story The
Flowers

--

Note: Part of the Speaker Flowers
installation, a series of poems by Rick Holland with musical
settings by Brian. Not released. In November 2010 Brian played the
track "A Title" on Jarvis Cocker's BBC 6 Music
programme.

Note: Available as a single CD; CD with DVD; and
Collector's Edition with CD, DVD, remix CD, and book. Brian Eno is
credited with the rather pedestrian "synthesizer" on tracks
"Alphaville", "Me Oh My", "Song To The Siren" and "BF Bass (Ode To
Olympia)". On the Collector's Edition, the remix disc includes
"Alphaville (Time And Space Machine Mix)", "Me Oh My (DJ Cleaver
Mix)" and "BF Bass (Ode to Olympia) (West End Wolf Mix)" and other
tracks without Eno involvement.

Note:
After many years, Brian's work with the poet Rick Holland is
released. The album was preceded by a downloadable track that did
not appear on the album, "Imagine
New Times", provided to those who signed up to the Warp/EnoShop
mailing list. A limited Japanese CD release included a bonus track
"in the future", which would later be released worldwide with
Panic of Looking. In many countries the iTunes version
included a bonus track, "instant gold".

Note: DVD "not authorised or sanctioned by Brian Eno, or by any
party representing him". Lots of interviews with
commentators/journalists/musicians; BrianTurrington's contributions
are good value. It's quite long, though, and EnoWeb found itself
wondering who the audience is for something that tellsthe story of
Brian Eno's early career. Most fans will already know this stuff,
most non-fans won't be interested. The film-makers also make use of
some footage that they don't own the rights to, which is rather
unsporting. And the publicity statement "Also contains many extra
features including extended interviews, digital biographies and
more" is a fib -- there is one single bit of interview that was not
included in the main feature (4 minutes of Lloyd Watson on the 801),
screens of text about the DVD contributors, and NO MORE. And they
don't mention Music For Films.

Note:
Brian provided most of the soundtrack -- some original, some previously
released -- for the first two series of this excellent 4-part sweary, violent and empathetic
story about drug dealing, bad luck and flawed choices on a London
estate. Soundtrack not released, but UK viewers can watch the
episodes on All4. The first series' soundtrack won a BAFTA Craft Award.

Note: "Beyond the Fold" features backing vocals and production from Brian. Letka is one of the projects of Peter Chilvers (musician, coder, digital archaeologist, future assistant and producer etc etc).

Note: Brian sort-of appears with Dave Stewart on the track "The Secret of Drowning". Carina Round told Paste Magazine, "[Dave Stewart] had sent me a backing track of something that he’d done 10 years prior with Brian Eno. It is the beginning of “The Secret of Drowning,” just that little minute, the way it starts, that’s what he sent me. And he said ‘write something haunting and amazing for this by tomorrow,’ in true Dave form. In true Carina Round form, five years later I took it into him in the studio, finished, and said ‘Listen to this, it’s really good,’ and he was like ‘Wow, I forgot about that.’ That’s how that collaboration came about. I never actually worked in the studio with Eno."

Note: Brian was a member of this band for a few short years back in the early 1970s.

Brian Eno, Ebe Oke and David Barbenel

Disasters of War

--

Note: Not released. Performed at the Don't Iraq Iran event on Friday 25th May 2012. Billed as a 'Musical Mystery interlude' the piece was performed with Ebe Oke on vocals/keyboards and David Barbenel on cello. Against the musical backdrop Eno read out the horrifying statistics of the Iraq War and Oke responded by giving the details of the rewards that those who arranged the war had gained since leaving office.

Note: A book of photographs from Fernando Ortega's art installation. Amazon explains: "This volume documents Fernando Ortega's photographs of a boat taxi operating between two Mexican villages, on which the ferryman plays his CD collection. Because the trip lasts only a minute, the music is always interrupted, so Ortega asked Brian Eno to compose music for this ride. Eno's music is not included here." There is a photo of Eno's CD, but that's all.

Brian Eno

Iceland

--

Note: A track originally composed in 1974, which ran as a small installation at SNAP 2012 at Aldeburgh, UK.

Note: A generative music album/app for the Apple iPad, which allows users to combine different elements to make music. The most complex of the duo's music apps. To begin with, you are presented with a sub-set of the elements, and a new one is added each time the app is run. Elements react differently depending on the others with which they are combined, and sometimes behave differently at different times of day. Eno & Chilvers said: "Scape makes music that thinks for itself ... Scape is a new form of album which offers users deep access to its musical elements. These can be endlessly recombined to behave intelligently: reacting to each other, changing mood together, making new sonic spaces. Can machines create original music? Scape is our answer to that question: it employs some of the sounds, processes and compositional rules that we have been using for many years and applies them in fresh combinations, to create new music." Here's Brian's guide on YouTube, and there are many other examples there. You can also Meet The Developers.

Note: A long ambient piece divided into four seasons, based on the installation Twelve Seasons - Music for the Great Gallery. Trivia: This was originally planned as a single track (the advance copies were in this format), but had to be split up into four tracks to allow distribution on vinyl. Here's Brian talking to Mother Jones:

BE: This actually has two genesis stories. The first story was that I was commissioned to make a piece of music for a particular building in Turin that connects two palaces. It's a long gallery—about 100 meters long, 15 meters high—designed in the 1740s by an architect called [Filippo] Juvarra. About a million visitors every year move through it; the people who run the place said they wanted to make them slow down a little bit because they felt that people were kind of racing from one palace to another and not noticing that they were moving through this beautiful space. So they said "Would you make a piece of music to slow people down?" basically. So I made a piece of music that I thought would work. And then I flew over to Turin with my piece of music—all the speakers and everything as I had specified were set up—and I put the piece on, and within 20 seconds I knew it was completely the wrong piece.MJ: Why?BE: It just didn't connect with the place at all. First of all it sounded very modern, and the building doesn't look like that. It's an amazing piece of Baroque architecture. It's full of details and, most importantly, it's full of light. It's got huge windows on both sides, so the main impression when you first walk in there is of light and the changing character of light during the day. And my piece had been made in my studio—it's a nice piece, by the way, but very interior, very reflective, introspective; quite dark, I guess you'd say. I had my little portable studio with me, so I thought, okay, I'll spend a couple days sitting here and I'll try to find out what sorts of things are going to work. And by the time I left, I had a palette of sounds and the sort of feeling of pacing that was going to work, and then I came back to London and I made this piece. So the two stories are a) the invitation to make music for a particular space and b) the total failure.MJ: Which one of those two pieces became LUX?BE: The music that is being used in the palace became the basis for this album. I set up a thing in my studio where I had a very comfortable bed to lie on and I put speakers at each side of the pillow so I could lie down and be inside this piece of music. (I don't like headphones.) And I did that because I wanted to adjust the music for the palace. While I was doing that, I was thinking, "I really love listening to this piece and, furthermore, it's pretty different to any other piece that I've done." I mean, I'm sure somebody that doesn't know my work well would think, "Yeah that sounds like another piece of clinky-clonk Brian Eno music." To me it's different.MJ: And your piece will run at the palace for five years, around the clock?BE: No. Originally I thought it was going to be an around-the-clock idea and so I thought of making a generative piece, which is to say a piece that would keep remaking itself differently forever. But then I heard that actually what they wanted is to have an hour on, an hour off. In fact, I sort of suggested that as well, because I thought there are going to be people who come to this gallery who just want to be in the gallery without Mr. Eno putting his interpretation of the experience on it. And so I started to explore this idea of making the music episodic. And also something that you don't have to listen to from beginning to end—you can enter at any point and leave at any point. So I started working with the idea of permutation, the ultimate something-for-nothing idea where you take a small number of elements and then you cluster them together in as many different ways as time and nature will permit.

Note: Polar Bear’s Sebastian Rochford curated a monthly digital singles club during 2012. Each single took the form of a two-track digital bundle, released on the last Friday of the month, and featured different collaborators. In December it was Brian Eno and Karl Hyde for the track "Dream Nails". Sebastian Rochford told Leaf:"The song started as an improvisation guided by Brian ... Seeing Brian playing the bass and keyboard in this little space and having to press the record button on my computer himself made me feel first embarrassed, but also amazed at his humbleness. For me, this kind of openness is part of what makes him such a continuously inspired creator ... I loved having Karl play on the track too, he plays so beautifully and sensitively. I didn’t even know he played guitar! To have both these incredible musicians give their time to make music with me in my place was really very special for me."

Note: Brian appears on the track "Digital Lion" and also provided moral support, according to MTV Hive. "I needed to talk to somebody, and Brian was really good for justifying the direction it was going in, and saying 'No, no, you don’t need to change anything.'".

Note: This private hospital in Brighton hosts the Quiet Room for Montefiore, a room available for patients, visitors and staff to "think, take stock or simply relax", and there is also a 165 Million Paintings for Montefiore light and music installation in the hospital reception area. More information at The Independent and Cobb PR.

Note: A book about Brian's visual art, which includes a download code for the previously unreleased track "CAM (Canada, Amsterdam, Milan)". Currently available as an eBook, though the print version is sold out. The track has a running time of just under 20 minutes and is a version of the piece that accompanied "Empire/Appearance" on Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan.

Note: Brian joins forces with Underworld's Karl Hyde. Includes "nine songs composed and sung by Eno & Hyde together with a distinguished cast of musicians, including Tessa Angus, Nell Catchpole, Marianna Champion, Will Champion, Kasia Daszykowska, Don E., Darla Eno, Georgia Gibson, Andy Mackay, John Reynolds and Chris Vatalaro." The track listing is: 1. The Satellites 2. Daddy’s Car 3. A Man Wakes Up 4. Witness 5. Strip It Down 6. Mother Of A Dog 7. Who Rings The Bell 8. When I Built This World 9. To Us All
A special edition CD with casebound book & slipcase was also available with four additional tracks: 1. Big Band Song 2. Brazil 3 3. Celebration 4. Titian Bekh. A limited vinyl edition also included a print. There's a film of come rehearsals here.

Note: Install the app, point your Apple-only device at your SomeDay World vinyl record, and you will see an animation. From the publicity: "takes the classic medium of vinyl and fuses it with image recognition and AR (augmented reality) technology in a melding of analogue and digital worlds ... fans can use their iOS device to watch and explore as new 'outsider architecture' metropolises spring into life around their vinyl copy of the album (or if you have a different format of the album, at www.enohyde.com/app). The experience is soundtracked by the Someday World song 'Strip It Down'." v2 included a preview of the track "Lilac" from the follow-up album High Life. The fact that Warp no longer has the app page live may suggest that this is an idea whose time has not yet come. To EnoWeb it seemed like a teeny bit of a gimmick -- we wondered how many times people are going to want to point their iPhone or iPad at a record and marvel at rotating shapes.There's a video here.

Note: An official release of the popular concert bootleg. Two CDs, plus a third that includes Eno's original tape loops.

Brian Eno

The Ship (installation)

--

Note: After several years of 77 Million Paintings installations, Fylkingen in Stockholm (Sweden) saw the maiden voyage of The Ship, a 3D sound installation with multiple loudspeakers lit by LED tea-lights. The installation was presented in other cities during 2015 and 2016 (sometimes under translated titles like La Nave and La Nau), and the music would later become the title track on Eno's 2016 album.

Note: Three CDs: a remastered version of the original album, a 68-minute live performance from 1989 at New York City's World Financial Center Winter Garden incorporating audio from a multimedia installation there by Brian Eno, plus alternate takes, demos and reinterpretations.

Note: CD 2 is at last an official release of My Squelchy Life. Tracks 01. I Fall Up 02. The Harness 03. My Squelchy Life 04. Tutti Forgetti 05. Stiff 06. Some Words 07. Juju Space Jazz 08. Under 09. Everybody’s Mother 10. Little Apricot 11. Over. It turned out that there were a few small differences from the fan-created version.

Note: CD 2 includes bonus tracks, but in the main they aren't particularly Shutov-y: 01. Eastern Cities 02. Empty Platform 03. Big Slow Arabs 04. Storm 05. Rendition 06. Prague 07. Alhondiga Variation. Prague is a very short extract from Eno's 1998 Music For Prague installation. EnoWeb would have liked the inclusion of the rainforest installation music that was considered for the original track-listing.

Note: Schwalm drops the J. Peter for some reason. This Deluxe Edition is available from iTunes and includes a number of bonus remixes, including one of "No Orders", the album track on which Brian sings.

Note: Final rehabilitation of record formerly declared non-album by Comrade Eno Politburo in putsch of 1991. A standalone double-disc vinyl LP, originally just for Record Store Day, but then put on general release. Track-listing as for Nerve Net (Expanded Edition), with the addition of a track called "Rapid Eye". The LP cover appears to have been, ahem, inspired by the cover of the bootleg version, which some miscreant ripped off from Dave Bush's image donated to EnoWeb's gallery long ago.

Brian Eno

The Sound of Creation: Paintings + Music by Beezy Bailey and Brian Eno

--

Note: An exhibition of paintings at the 2015 Venice Biennale by Beezy Bailey and Brian, some of which were accompanied by musical pieces composed by Brian -- sometimes on loudspeakers but mainly on headphones. In 2016 the show was presented at the Perve Galeria in Lisbon, Portugal. Not released, although there had been discussion of a book or catalogue. In 2016 CasimirTV released Brian's soundtrack for Painting 90.

Leo Abrahams and David Coulter

Discreet + Oblique: The Music of Brian Eno

--

Note: This live-performed piece aims for an authentic recreation of Eno's original Discreet Music concept, and also suggests ways that it can develop musically. It was originally commissioned for Supersense: Festival of the Ecstatic, presented by Arts Centre Melbourne, and subsequently performed at The Barbican, London, on 26th September 2015. Not released.

Note: Brian's lecture, available as an MP3 and PDF. BBC 6 Music supported the event with a radio programme called Brian Eno at Peel Acres, in which Brian looked at some of John Peel's LPs; there is a video clip here. The John Peel Archive also has Brian Eno's Record Box.

For Achim

--

Note: A short installation running for a few days for the Roedelius Lifelines Festival in Berlin, September 2015. Not released.

Note: An installation of Eno's Lightboxes and lenticular print art over April-May 2016. The installation soundtrack was an unreleased piece called "Late That Autumn" which appeared to come from the same recording sessions as the Otherworlds soundtrack. Purchasers of the Lightboxes received a USB flash drive containing unique music for each artwork, otherwise unreleased. The Lightboxes featured slowly colour phasing LED panels that were variously divided or merged into one another; the lenticular prints Center Decenter and Tender Divisor gave the viewer different colours depending on the angle at which they were viewed. After a few weeks almost all the artworks had been sold, the original prices being: Lenticular prints - £495; Lightboxes - £12,000; Pencil sketches - £2,000. The installation also ran at the Galleria Valentia Bonomo in Rome from May to September 2016, in a modified form including Eno's Speaker Flowers.

Note: An anthem for the DiEM25 group, for which non-democracy in Europe is anathema -- it used to play automatically when the web page is visited, but appears to have got removed during a redesign, though Eno's credit appears at the base of the page. Now can be heard in this YouTube video.

Notes: We gave up trying to keep track of
bootlegs. In general, for early material you can be sure it will
appear on several different titles. There are a few Fripp/Eno
concerts (London & Paris), subseqnetly officially released. There is 801's appearance at the
Reading Festival and Brian's performance with The Winkies on BBC
radio's Top Gear. After that you might get tracks from the low-circulation
Directors' Edition of Music For Films, but most of these
are included on the official release More Music For
Films anyway. Then there's the original version of My Life in
the Bush of Ghosts. There is also a CD of Eno/Cale/Bowie
tracks (musicianship unverifiable). There's a longer version of
the June 1, 1974 concert (maybe soundchecks). The
unreleased album My Squelchy Life, recreated and restored from various sources, was finally released in 2014. A collection of unreleased
tracks and snippets from 1.Outside is out there. From the
1990s onwards, the rise of online fan activity, auction sites, and later youTube and Soundcloud etc
means that copies may be easily found of most of Brian's unreleased
musical activities including
installations.
